So, Boy is mumbling something like “Can you get me water so I can water the plants”. Sounds reasonable, except that it’s 7:30 am, I’m pre-coffee, and he’s in his jammies and welly boots, and he’s got a watering can.

Then I see the cat run across the yard. And think, hmmmm? Did he really say that he wanted to water the cat?

And he’s chasing the cat. With a watering can.

A little later, he’s found the bigger watering can, and the cat is nowhere to be seen.
